PS3 firmware 2.60 with Divx 3.11 and Photo Gallery
- Thread starter rounin
- Start date
I think 3.11 was a community extension (Not sure if it's part of the official DivX specs, probably not).
The photo app looks neat ! This is what I'm talking about. ^_^
Media management (e.g., search, recommendation, import/export, organizing/tagging, auto-tagging) is a key service. They should net-enable the media gallery in the future (upload to some popular photo sites). That way my friends and family can see 'em.
Hopefully Sony will introduce similar features for music, videos and web pages. While they are at it, they should consolidate the UI too. Go go go !

Nope (not yet ? if they are that thorough).
Wiki has a brief paragraph on 3.11:

EDIT: PSP 5.0.3 was out last night too.

Found that and a June 2008 article in engadgetHD that said mkv would be supported in version 7 of divx. So judging by the link you posted patsu, mkv is still not playable in PS3...

That's what I said above. ^_^
If they are that thorough, to include 3.11 support; then I am hopeful for mkv support.
I am more keen to use the photo features. They should really add network file system support to XMB. That way I can use the same tool to organize and show photos on other HDDs.

Many pirate copies of movies, and old clips used the famous 3.11. I remember sitting up for a long nights and marvel at the quality that could be achieved.
3.11 Support is a boost for the DiVX support.
MKV is just a container, but if they add support for that many will rejoice in the "scene", they just need to add DTS support to the XMB as well.

When I tried viewing some photos through the PS3 which came from my iPhoto collection, it seemed meh. I realize this Photo Gallery thing may have more features now but mainly I cared about it scaling the pics to fit my HDTV screen.
Slide shows with music would have been nice.
But now, iPhoto '09 is making me think of getting that Mini HDMI to HDMI cable (I have an older MacBook) because of features like Faces, Places (I've been wanting to geotag for a long time) and the slick slide show themes which you can export to iPhone/iPod Touch.
Or a second-generation Apple TV.
I don't see transferring gigs and gigs of media to the PS3. That and the fact that Remote.app on the iPhone is a slick way to control iTunes and AppleTV. I'm going to get an Airport Express just because of Remote.app.
I was looking at photos on my ps3 yesterday and they looked really muddy, like they were low res. I'm not sure why. I have my PC and my PS3 hooked up to the same display (1920x1200). On the PC my photos looked sharp and on the PS3 they looked like they were blocky as if they were zoomed in, but they weren't. I don't plan on looking at photos on my PS3 anyway, but I thought it was weird.
Can't you just stream the photos with media center software?
Yeah, remote.app is really slick. My friend has a modded AppleTV and it seems cool. I'm hoping the mac mini and apple tv get rolled into one some time this spring .... A man can dream, can't he?
That is if you live in an apple world. I would love the PS3 to support Picassaweb, the Face Recognition feature makes name tagging extremely fast and effective. Added with the PS3 Photo Gallery it would be a real toy for Family Albums, with names
I hope they also fixed the sound channel problem. If I'm playing a 2-channel audio file (e.g. anything ripped from a CD), I want the PS3 to drop to a 2.0 channel profile instead of staying on a 5.1 profile and pumping silence through the unused channels. This defeats the stereo-to-multichannel mixing of my amp.
If the original photos are low res, then PS3 simply scales it up without enhancements.
If you have photos taken from newer cameras, then the resolution should be high enough even for zoom.
The PS3 is also a very fast and convenient tool to rotate photos (due to the way the UI/controller "constrained" hand movements).
Viewing photos on SD TV is ugly though.
That's already possible for more than a year.
You get to pick the slide show modes. My favorite is "Portrait" (which would zoom and pan w.r.t. faces -- or sometimes boobs
-- in the pictures)Yap ! I have a Mac laptop but it's too mobile to be used as a family media PC.
With PS3MediaServer (or any uPnP/DLNA server), you don't have to copy the photos to the PS3. You may not be able to use the new Photo Gallery app though. Right now, I use the PS3 as a working cache. All the media remain on a NAS.
Don't think it's out yet. The blog entry was a heads up.
It kills me that we don't get full release notes. Seems another issue where you change your password and then no longer receive trophies is fixed. This is confirmed by NurbFurble on the EU forums.
Last update was Dec 2 Most likely this will be released tonight. Can't tell you the time though.

I checked out the vid, the new photo gallery appears to be pretty cool. It would be great if they implemented something similar to party sharing so that you can do this online with friends easily.
